hyalo-skills

hyalo-skills is a skill for Codex from ractive/hyalo. It costs 26 tokens per session (244 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for checking and maintaining collections of Agent Skills with Hyalo. It validates required files and metadata for skills used by coding agents such as Codex and Claude.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to lint skill directories, check required names and descriptions, inspect the skills schema, and recheck files after editing them.
Why use it?
It catches structural and naming errors before a skills collection is used. It also distinguishes a clean format check from judging whether a skill gives good advice.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Codex.

Good fit Use it to lint skill directories, check required names and descriptions, inspect the skills schema, and recheck files after editing them.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hyalo-skills scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Agent Skills collections

Use hyalo lint --profile skills --format text from the collection root. The profile binds **/SKILL.md to its skill schema and includes hidden .agents/skills/** and .claude/skills/** subtrees under the selected vault. A project whose configured vault is a separate notes directory requires an explicit --dir . to validate project-root skills. Do not rewrite its configuration to run a check.

Required frontmatter is name and description; the name must match the directory. Use hyalo types show skill on an initialized skills vault and command help for schema details. Keep descriptions focused on actual triggers. Preserve host-specific metadata where supported; Codex appearance and invocation policy live in agents/openai.yaml, which markdown lint does not validate.

Make requested edits, then rerun conformance on the affected files. A clean lint result checks structure, not whether a skill follows user intent or makes good decisions.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
